About the Challenge
For the month of February, FXU Vegan and Vegetarian Society will be taking part in The Great Vegan University Challenge. This is a nationwide event by Animal Aid, which encourages students to try veganism out for the month of February – students sign up for free on their website and are provided with advice, recipes, regular updates by email, and a question-and-answer service.
We will be holding a few events during this month – on the first and second we’ll be holding a stall on each campus to get people signed up, and giving out free vegan tasters. We’ll be in the Exchange on the 1st Feb, 12-3pm and on Falmouth Campus by the shop 2nd Feb, 12-3pm. On the 17th we have a film screening of Speciesism, and on the 22nd a talk from fantastic author and campaigner Mark Gold, highlighting the reasons to be vegan. We’ll finish the month off with a big shared potluck meal! (details tbc). All free, all with food tasters!

Calendar of Events
1st and 2nd February: Sign-ups and free tasters!
We'll be in the Exchange 12-3 on the 1st and on Woodlane Campus 12-2 on the 2nd - come along to sign up, ask any questions and get some free tasters! Or sign up here:
17th February: Free Screening of Speciesism
6.30pm, The Exchange Lecture Theatre
We'll be showing Speciesism: The Movie. This film non-graphic and even funny at points - it highlights the moral dilemma of loving animals but also eating them, in an accessible way.
'You'll never look at animals the same way again. Especially humans'. Free tickets here.
22nd February: Mark Gold: 10 Good Reasons to be Vegan
7pm, the Exchange Lecture Theatre
Fantastic author and campaigner Mark Gold will give a talk highlighting the many positive reasons to be vegan. Mark is well-informed and thought-provoking.
We'll have vegan tasters afterwards. Free tickets here.
29th February: Vegan Potluck Meal
Times TBA - check our Facebook page for details
A shared meal, bring along a dish if you can but if not come and enjoy anyway!
